Hi,Alice,
Thanks for query,
This appearance of vein on hands may be due to age.
At this age veins lose their elasticity so while doing down movement blood flow goes down and you see feeling of veins.
As you Indention of right thumb,wrist skin,you should rule out thrombophlebitis.
Ok and bye.
I find this answer helpful
